Getting values from 2 TimePickers and comparing them

In my application, I have setup 2 TimePickers inside my activity. This is currently how I get the values from the 2 TimePickers:

int hour1 = mFirstWakeUpTimePicker.getCurrentHour();
int min1 = mFirstWakeUpTimePicker.getCurrentMinute();
int hour2 = mSecondWakeUpTimePicker.getCurrentHour();
int min2 = mSecondWakeUpTimePicker.getCurrentMinute();

GregorianCalendar calendar1 = new GregorianCalendar();
GregorianCalendar calendar2 = new GregorianCalendar();

calendar1.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour1);
calendar1.set(Calendar.MINUTE, min1);
calendar2.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour2);
calendar2.set(Calendar.MINUTE, min2);

After that, I need to compare them to check if they are at least 3 minutes apart. How do I achieve this? Also, what's the better way of writing this code?

Any help is appreciated.

Assuming you want calendar2 to be late then three mins with respect to calendar1 you can do like this, right after getting hours and mins from Timepickers:

GregorianCalendar calendar1 = new GregorianCalendar();
GregorianCalendar calendar2 = new GregorianCalendar();

calendar1.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour1);
calendar1.set(Calendar.MINUTE, min1);
calendar2.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour2);
calendar2.set(Calendar.MINUTE, min2);

long millisCal1 = calendar1.getTimeInMillis();
long millisCal2 = calendar2.getTimeInMillis();

if (millisCal2 - millisCal1 >= 1000 * 60 * 3){
    // They differ of at least three mins
} else {
    // They not differ of at least three mins
}

Where three mins is translated in millis 1000 * 60 * 3. If you want to check calendar1 later than calendar2 just switch the order inside the if statement.

you could compare calendar1 with calendar2 by using method "calendar.getTimeInMillis()",as following:

int minutes = (int) ((calendar2.getTimeInMillis()-calendar1.getTimeInMillis())/(1000 * 60)) ;

If you have two date you can check these by the following conditions:

if(calendar1.isBefore(calendar2)){ // conditions here }

and you can also check the same for isAfter

OR if you want to check for atleast 3 minutes add the dates and then comapre them like:

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); calendar.setTime(dat1); calendar.add(Calendar.MINUTE, dat2);

Try this and let me know if it helps.
